Notes:

Bennie Jay Zahn writes that Pierre's only sister, Genevieve, married Etienne DUPOEY. Apparently her descendants were still living as of 1911, as Pierre's son, Sylvain, wrote a letter stating that he had visited with his cousin Dupouey in Angos.

Notes:

Pierre's parents had only one son and one daughter.

Bennie Zahn writes that based on information from Adrian Lagleize (1905-1998), Pierre Pene (his great-great grandfather) "came from" a village called Montgaillard, which is nearby to Angos. Mr. Lagleize shawy that they found graves in a cemetery in Montgaillard marked with the Pene name. Bennie added that Pierre and his wife Marie Cecile were both teachers, and the six of their sons who lived to adulthood were school teachers.

Pierre married Marie Cecile Lacassagne on 4 Nov 1830 in Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France. Marie (daughter of Michelle Lacassagne) was born on 28 Aug 1809 in Oueilloux, Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France; died on 30 Apr 1869 in Oueilloux, Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Pierre married Marianne Lafourcade about 1870. Marianne was born about 1844 in Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France; died about 1873 in Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Bennie Zahn writes that in 1910 Bernard, a schoolteacher, was one of the few villagers in Benqu? that was able to speak, read and write fluent French. The majority of the inhabitants spoke in a patois, a southwestern lingo. He was married to Madeline CAZANAVE, and they were the parents of three children, who were farmers.

Schoolteacher and headmaster of a Junior High School. He retired at Izotges, near Plaisancs in 1911. He was the father of two sons, a school teacher and a baker.

Notes:

aBennie Zahn writes that she married Mathieu COURTADE in New Orleans in 1862; her brother Jean serving as witness. They operated a grocery store and coffee house in the 3rd District on Marias at Esplanade. Mathieu died eight months before their only daughter, Corinne, was born in 1867. Justine left New Orleans, possibly moving to Erath with her brother.

Notes:

She married Jean BALIX, and in 1911, they resided in Galan. They had no children, and raised her younger half-brother, Olivier, after Pierre Pene died.

Notes:

Bennie Zahn writes that he arrived in New Orleans in December 1856, where he met and married Eulalie CLAVERIE on 10 September 1868, in St. Augustine Church. After moving to Erath, Louisiana, he became a prominent merchant, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1888. Of Jean and Lilli's 14 children, five moved back to and settled in New Orleans.

Notes:

Immigrated to Argentina. In 1915, Sylvain Pene wrote "of the family of Prudence, I never have any news." His Aunt Julie suspected he changed his name and moved to San Francisco. She also heard news of a Pene in Australia, a man of civil position, which might also have been where he settled.

Notes:

Blazine sailed from Bordeaux in September 1866 aboard the windjammer "Jupiter" and arrived in New Orleans 5 December 1866. The passenger list of 109 names listed her occupation as a "seamstress." She married Louis Roquevert and together they owned and operated a dairy on Peters Avenue at Long Street (now Jefferson Avenue at Freret). They had a summer home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi where Louis died in 1890. Nine of their 13 children lived to adulthood; 7 resided in or near New Orleans. (Bennie Jay Zahn).

In early 1901, George D. Bland (1853-1915), who managed the Beach Hotel at Ocean Springs...purchased the Louis Roquevert (1845-1890) place, an approximately eighteen-acre tract on Old Fort Bayou from New Orleanian, Blazine Penne Roquefort Barthe (1843-1916), the widow of Louis Roquevert. This was the former site of Bradford's Landing.(Jackson County, Ms. Land Deed Book 24, pp. 77-79) Here George D. Bland, established a truck farm and poultry business. The Roquevert place was located today in the vicinity of Bayou Cove and Ray Street east of Vermont in Section 19, T7S-R8W.

(Research):An mtDNA sample supplied a direct female descendant of Blazine (a child of Pat McGuire, the daughter of Josephine Morlas), was analyzed by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. Their analysis showed the following Haplogroup assignment, along with the following differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence.

The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup K is found through Europe, and contains multiple closely related lineages indicating a recent population expansion. The origin of haplogroup K dates to approximately 16,000 years ago, and it has been suggested that individuals with this haplogroup took part in the pre-Neolithic expansion following the Last Glacial Maximum. William Hurst, on his Haplogroup K Website, writes that "Katrine," the founding mother of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup K, was one of the "Seven Daughters of Eve" as listed in the 2001 book of that title by Bryan Sykes. A lot of happened since 2001, but the book is still valuable.

Katrine lived about 16,000 years ago. Perhaps the oldest known K descendant was Oetzi the Iceman whose frozen body was discovered in the Alps in 1991. Estimated at 5000 years old, the Iceman proved to have the basic mutations for a K: 16224C and 16320C. Every K is a cousin of Oetzi.

Blazine married Jean Louis Roquevert about 1866 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Jean (son of Dominique Roquevert and Jeanne Laye) was born on 1 Jan 1845 in Cazeneuve-Montaut, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyr?n?es, France; died on 10 Mar 1890 in Ocean Springs, Jackson County, Mississippi.

Notes:

Bennie Zahn writes that Clothilde married Charles SIEFKER. When she died at age 32, her husband and six children survived her, the youngest, Joseph Raphael Siefker, being but eight months old. Her widower became ill several years later and was hospitalized, leaving his children in care of relatives. A neighbor cared for Raphael, the youngest, and disappeared with him--moving north to Amite, Louisiana. She mistreated him, and Raphael was removed from her care. He was later adopted by the Mayor of Amite and his wife, who were childless. Raphael was renamed Robert Ellis GOODMAN.

The SIEFKER family later discovered his whereabouts and sued for custody, all of which was reported in the Amite newspapers. The judge ruled he should stay with his adoptive parents, and the Siefker family was sadly forced to accept this decision. His ROQUEVERT aunts later travelled to Amite, and were satisfied that he had a proper home and was being well cared for.

Louise married Joseph Wahl on 28 Jun 1910 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Joseph was born about 1887; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
